Oddishナゾノクサ
Oddish, 50 HP, common, retreat 1 — Stun Spore for one Grass and 10 damage with a paralysis flip, and nothing else. Kouki Saitou draws it, and draws Gloom at 002 and Bellossom at 007, so the whole line is one hand.
Japan · 2005
This page covers Japan's three releases of 2005, 278 cards — 106 in April, 86 in June, 86 in October. The English market released four sets in the same year, 446 cards, and again not one of them was Japan's current set: the February release was Japan's July 2004 set, and Japan's June 2005 set did not reach English until February 2006. Each edition has its own page.
Three releases, 278 cards, nine Gold Stars and the arrival of δ
Nine Pokémon ☆ in one year. Japan printed three in each of its three sets, and each set picked a family: the three legendary beasts in April — Entei, Suicune and Raikou — the three regi in June, and Kyogre, Groudon and Metagross in October, the last of those swapping the third legendary out for something that is not one. Nine is three more than 2004, the year the rarity was invented, and the mechanic is still only two years old.
Then on 28 October the last set of the year did something the almanac has not recorded before: it re-typed a third of itself. Twenty-nine of the 86 cards in Holon Research Tower carry a δ beside the name and are printed in a type the Pokémon has never been — a Fire Tyranitar, a Lightning Dragonite, a Metal Eevee — and the set ships the cards that make those types work. English printed the same thing on 31 October. Three days is the shortest gap between a Japanese set and its English edition anywhere in this almanac.
Each set opens with what it was and when it landed, then the cards in set order — 001 to 106, 001 to 086, 001 to 086. Pokémon-ex, Pokémon ☆ and the δ cards are all marked on the card face itself, and the almanac marks the first two separately from ordinary holofoils, because a Gold Star and a holofoil rare are not the same thing to own.
About the pictures and the numbers. The card faces here are Japanese scans. Where a Japanese scan could not be obtained, the page uses the English printing of the same illustration and labels it English scan underneath. From 2005 there is a Japanese record for every card, so HP, type, stage and retreat cost are read off the Japanese printing, and where the two editions disagree this page follows Japan — two cards change type between the editions, three change HP. Attack names and illustrators are still read off the English twin, because the Japanese records do not carry them.
This page documents 278 main-series cards across three products on three release dates in 2005. It covers cards printed in Japan only; printings for other editions are tracked separately.

How many main-series cards does this page record for 2005?278 cards across three products, an average of 92.7 cards per product. This is the main-series archive count, not a claim that every promo and event card from the year is itemised here.
What release dates does this page cover?3 release dates, from 2005-04-08 to 2005-10-28.
Do these Japanese cards have English-edition counterparts?277 of 278 cards (99.6%) carry a mapping to an English-edition card; the remaining 1 are Japanese-only printings or not yet paired.
How many of these 278 cards are shown with a card face?275 of 278 cards have a card face on record; the other 3 are listed without one rather than showing a card face from a different printing. 175 of those faces are marked as a scan from another print run rather than the original printing.
Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean (金の空、銀の海), 106 cards — 96 Pokémon, eight Trainer and two Special Energy — and the largest set of the PCG era so far. 29 commons, 29 uncommons, 18 rares, 18 holofoil rares, nine Pokémon-ex and three Gold Stars. Psychic leads with 28 cards, and 25 of those 28 are one Pokémon.
Twenty-five Unown. 043 to 067 are Unown A to Q, then S, U, V, W, Y, Z, ! and ? — Japan skipped R, T and X. The card face carries the letter and the card list carries only the word Unown, so the letters had to be matched card by card against the English Unown set: attack cost, damage and illustrator all line up for the seventeen in the A–Q run, 060 and 061 land on S and U exactly where R and T are missing, and the last six turn out on their printed attack text to be V, W, Y, Z, ! and ?.
Both towers, and the beasts. Ho-Oh ex at 020 and Lugia ex at 090 sit at opposite ends of the set, and the Gold Stars between them are Entei ☆ at 019, Suicune ☆ at 032 and Raikou ☆ at 039. The other seven ex cards are Politoed 027, Espeon 041, Blissey 089, Umbreon 091, Tyranitar 093, Steelix 095 and Scizor 096 — six of the nine fall in the last eighteen numbers.
Mirage Forest (まぼろしの森), 86 cards — 76 Pokémon, nine Trainer and one Special Energy. 20 commons, 18 uncommons, 20 holofoil rares, seven Pokémon-ex and three Gold Stars. The Gold Stars are the regi: Regice ☆ at 033, Regirock ☆ at 059, Registeel ☆ at 076.
The fossils come back. Claw Fossil at 077, Mysterious Fossil at 078 and Root Fossil at 079 are Trainer cards that play as Basic Pokémon — 40, 50 and 40 HP, no attacks, no retreat, and no Prize to the opponent when they are Knocked Out — and the set builds a family on each of them. React Energy at 086 is the Special Energy that twenty-odd cards in this set check for by name, and it is the first time an entire set is written around one Energy card.
Holon Research Tower (ホロンの研究塔), 86 cards — 75 Pokémon, eight Trainer and three Special Energy, 29 of them δ. It is the only Japanese set of 2005 with no Pokémon-ex in it at all, and the only one whose Supporters are a single engine: Holon Scientist, Researcher, Mentor, Farmer and Lass at 077–081, every one of them costing a card from hand.
δ arrives, three days before English. Holon Research Tower went on sale on 28 October; EX Delta Species, the English set built from it, on 31 October. The Japanese set has 86 cards and no ex; the English one has 114, three Eeveelution ex and ten Ditto. Same mechanic, same week, two different sets.
8 April 2005. One hundred and six cards — 96 Pokémon, eight Trainer and two Special Energy — the largest set of the PCG era so far. 29 commons, 29 uncommons, 18 rares, 18 holofoil rares, nine Pokémon-ex and three Gold Stars. Psychic leads with 28, and 25 of those 28 are Unown.
A set built on two ideas. The first is the Unown run at 043–067, twenty-five cards that are one Pokémon and one attack name. The second is the towers and the beasts: Ho-Oh ex at 020 and Lugia ex at 090, with Entei ☆, Suicune ☆ and Raikou ☆ between them. Nine ex cards, and the Trainers are only eight — Professor Elm's Training Method, Mary's Request and Solid Rage at 097–099, then five Pokémon Tool and two Special Energy at 100–106. Twenty-three artists worked on it, and no one drew more than Ryo Ueda's eleven cards — Shin-ichi Yoshikawa has ten and Nakaoka nine.
12 cards · listed in original order.

Oddish, 50 HP, common, retreat 1 — Stun Spore for one Grass and 10 damage with a paralysis flip, and nothing else. Kouki Saitou draws it, and draws Gloom at 002 and Bellossom at 007, so the whole line is one hand.

Gloom, 70 HP, common, retreat 1 — Poisonpowder for 20 at a Grass and a Colourless. Common rather than uncommon, which is how this set treats the middle stage of the Oddish line: the first two are both commons and only the last is holofoil. Kouki Saitou.

Scyther, 60 HP, rare, retreat 1 — Twin Play for one Colourless searches out up to two Scyther or Scyther ex and puts them straight onto the Bench, and Agility is 20 at two Colourless with a flip that blanks the next attack. Hajime Kusajima, who has three cards here.

Meganium, 100 HP, Stage 2, holofoil rare, retreat 3 — Bouncy Move is 50 at two Grass and a Colourless, and you may put up to five damage counters on Meganium itself to add 10 each.

Spinarak, 50 HP, common — Stun Poison for one Grass is a single coin flip that both paralyzes and poisons, and Pierce is 20 at two Colourless. Sachiko Adachi, who draws three cards here.

Ariados, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Reactive Poison does 10 plus 30 for every Special Condition already on the Defending Pokémon, and Spider Trap for one Grass puts it to sleep and poisons it before you drag a Benched Pokémon up. Mitsuhiro Arita, who draws seven cards in this set.

Bellossom, 90 HP, Stage 2, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Green Dance for one Grass fetches two Grass Pokémon, and Full Bloom is 50 at three Colourless, or 100 if you happen to have three Bellossom in play. Kouki Saitou closes the line he opened at 001.

Sunkern, 40 HP, common — Minor Errand-Running for one Colourless fetches a basic Energy, and Rollout is 20 at a Grass and a Colourless. 40 HP is the floor of this set, and Sunkern shares it with a handful of other basics. Sumiyoshi Kizuki draws both halves of the line.

Sunflora, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare — Dazzle Dance for a single Grass confuses every Defending Pokémon, and Green Blast is 20 plus 10 for each Grass Energy on your side, at two Colourless. Sumiyoshi Kizuki again.

Yanma, 60 HP, uncommon — Grand Loop for one Colourless draws two cards and may switch Yanma out, and Spinning Tail for a Grass and a Colourless flips for 20 to every one of the opponent's Pokémon. Kagemaru Himeno, six cards here.

Pineco, 50 HP, common — one attack, Ram for 10 at a single Colourless. One of the shortest cards in the set: one line of text, no effect, no flip. Aya Kusube, who has four cards here.

Shuckle, 60 HP, rare — Toxic for a Grass and a Colourless poisons and doubles the between-turns damage, and the Poké-Body Extra Tight blocks all damage from Pokémon-ex, which makes it the set's dedicated anti-ex wall at rare. Miki Tanaka.
8 cards · listed in original order.

Flareon, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare — Fire Dance is 20 at one Fire and pulls a Fire Energy back out of the discard pile, and Multi Burn is 40 at three Colourless, or 60 and a burn if Flareon is carrying three different types of basic Energy. The three Eeveelutions here are split three ways: Flareon by Naoyo Kimura, Vaporeon at 025 by Atsuko Nishida, Jolteon at 034 by Mitsuhiro Arita.

Typhlosion, 110 HP, Stage 2, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Flickering Flames is 20 for one Fire and puts the defender to sleep, Rage is 50 plus 10 per damage counter on Typhlosion. The Poké-Body Burning Aura puts a damage counter on both Active Pokémon between turns, its own included. Hajime Kusajima.

Slugma, 40 HP, common — Yawn for one Colourless and Headbutt for 10 at one Colourless, so the whole card runs on a single energy. Tomokazu Komiya, four cards here.

Magcargo, 80 HP, Stage 1, rare, retreat 2 — Smokescreen is 30 and makes the opponent flip to attack, Extra Flame is 40, or 70 against a Pokémon-ex. The Poké-Body Dual Armor makes it Fire and Fighting while a Fighting Energy is attached, which is the trick this whole cycle is built on. Tomokazu Komiya.

Houndour, 50 HP, common — one attack, Smog for one Fire, which poisons and does no damage. Kagemaru Himeno.

Houndoom, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Tight Jaw is 20 with a paralysis flip, Flamethrower is 70 at two Fire and a Colourless for a discarded Fire. The Poké-Body Lonesome stops the opponent playing any Trainer except Supporters while they have more Pokémon in play than you — a comeback switch on a 70 HP body. Midori Harada.

Entei ☆, 80 HP, Basic, Gold Star — Burning Turn is 20 at a Fire and a Colourless and switches Entei out, Detonation is 70 at three Fire and costs the top ten cards of your deck if you are behind on Prizes. The three beasts are printed as ☆ here, at 019, 032 and 039, all drawn by Masakazu Fukuda.

Ho-Oh ex, 110 HP, Basic, Pokémon-ex, retreat 2 — Rainbow Burn is 10 at three Colourless plus 20 for every type of basic Energy attached, which is the whole point of the card: five types means 110. The Poké-Body Golden Wing moves two Energy off Ho-Oh ex when it would be Knocked Out. Mitsuhiro Arita draws it; Lugia ex at 090 is Hikaru Koike's only card in the set.
12 cards · listed in original order.

Poliwag, 50 HP, common — Hypnosis for one Colourless, Wave Splash for 10 at one Water. Kagemaru Himeno.

Poliwhirl, 70 HP, common, Stage 1 — Energy Ball is 30 plus 10 for each Energy left over after paying, capped at 20 more, so a Poliwhirl with five Energy is a 50. A 70 HP Stage 1 at common with an attack that scales is the unusual thing here. Miki Tanaka.

Slowbro, 80 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 2 — Parallel Gain is 20 for one Colourless and removes a damage counter from each of your Pokémon, Rolling Tackle is 50 at a Water and two Colourless. The Poké-Body Dual Armor makes it Water and Psychic while a Psychic Energy is attached. Midori Harada.

English scan
Vaporeon, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare — Aqua Supply is 20 at one Water and attaches an extra basic Energy from hand, Multi Bubble is 40 at three Colourless, or 60 and a sleep flip with three different basic Energy types attached. Atsuko Nishida draws the Water third of the Eevee trio.

English scan

Ryo Ueda, who draws ten cards here, five of them ex.

Corsola, 60 HP, rare — Cry for Help for one Colourless fetches a Water or Fighting Pokémon that is not an ex, Double Attack for one Water puts 10 on two of the opponent's Benched Pokémon. A search card that also snipes, at rare. Kagemaru Himeno.

English scan
Octillery, 80 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Standing By for one Colourless discards an Energy and turns next turn's Pulse Blast from 30 into a base 120. The Poké-Body Super Suction Cups stops the opponent retreating at all while Octillery is Active, which is what makes the two-turn setup safe. Naoyo Kimura.

Smoochum, 50 HP, rare — Blown Kiss for one Colourless puts a single damage counter anywhere. The Poké-Body Baby Evolution lets you drop Jynx from hand straight onto it and clear the damage, which is the only reason the card is played. Yuka Morii, four cards here, all of them small.

7 cards · listed in original order.

Electabuzz, 70 HP, rare, retreat 1 — Double Shock is 10 per heads at a Lightning and a Colourless with a paralysis rider, Luster Blast is 70 at four energy for three discarded. The Poké-Body Stages of Evolution reduces damage from anything carrying Special Energy once Electabuzz is evolved. Mitsuhiro Arita.

Jolteon, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 0 — Attract Current is 20 at one Lightning with a flip that attaches a Lightning Energy from the deck, Multi Pulse is 40 at three Colourless, or 60 and a paralysis flip with three different basic Energy types. Free retreat on a 70 HP Stage 1 is what separates it from its two brothers. Mitsuhiro Arita.

English scan
Mareep, 50 HP, common — one attack, Tackle for 10 at one Lightning. Kyoko Umemoto draws all three stages of this line, 035 to 037, which is the whole electric sheep family in three consecutive numbers.

English scan
Flaaffy, 80 HP, common, Stage 1 — Thunder Wave for one Colourless is 10 and a paralysis flip, Thunder is 50 at two Lightning and a Colourless for 10 damage to itself. 80 HP on a common Stage 1 is generous. Kyoko Umemoto.

Ampharos, 120 HP, Stage 2, holofoil rare, retreat 2 — one attack, Miraculous Thunder, 50 at two Lightning and a Colourless, with the option to discard every Lightning on it to burn and confuse. The Poké-Body Energy Connect moves a basic Energy from a Benched Pokémon to the Active every turn, as often as you like. Kyoko Umemoto finishes the line.

Elekid, 50 HP, rare — Magnetic Trip is 10 for one Colourless and confuses the defender if Low Pressure System is in play, which is a Stadium from the previous year's Undone Seal — this set is still writing rules that point backwards. The Poké-Body Baby Evolution upgrades it to Electabuzz. Yuka Morii.

Raikou ☆, 80 HP, Basic, Gold Star — Lightning Turn is 20 at a Lightning and a Colourless and switches it out, Meta Voltage is 70 at three Lightning and, if you are behind on Prizes, puts 40 on each of your own Pokémon. The third beast, and the cruellest drawback of the three. Masakazu Fukuda.
28 cards · listed in original order.

Slowpoke, 50 HP, common — Fishing Tail for one Colourless pulls a Pokémon, an Evolution or a basic Energy out of the discard pile, Trip Over is 20 at two Colourless plus a flip. Midori Harada.

English scan
Espeon ex, 110 HP, Stage 1, Pokémon-ex, retreat 0 — Snap Tail for two Colourless snipes 30 anywhere, Psyloop is 60 at a Psychic and two Colourless plus 30 for each Trainer the opponent has in play. The Poké-Body Devo Flash de-evolves something on the opponent's Bench the moment Espeon ex comes down. Free retreat on an ex is rare. Ryo Ueda.

Slowking, 70 HP, Stage 1, holofoil rare, retreat 1 — Aftermath is 20 at a Psychic and a Colourless plus 10 for each Pokémon Tool in your discard pile, capped at 60 more. The Poké-Body Item Search fetches a Tool every turn, which feeds the attack it is standing on. Midori Harada.

Unown (A), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Hidden Power, two Colourless, that searches the deck for up to two Supporter cards. The only Unown in the set that fetches Supporters, and two Colourless is cheap for an effect this broad. The Poké-Power Shuffle trades it for another Unown in the deck, keeping every card and counter where they are. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (B), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — three Colourless for a Hidden Power that puts one damage counter per card in the opponent's hand on the defender. Against a hand of eight that is a Knock Out on a small Basic, and it is the only attack here that reads the opponent's hand size as damage. Three Colourless makes it the slowest of the twenty-five. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (C), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless copies a Supporter out of the opponent's discard pile and uses its effect; the card stays in their pile. A one-energy answer to whatever Supporter they have already spent, and the only card in the set that reaches into their discard pile for a Trainer. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (D), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless, a coin flip, and on heads you de-evolve any Evolved Pokémon in play, yours or theirs, back into that player's hand. The only card in the set that points the same effect at both sides of the table. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (E), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless, and if the opponent's Bench is not full you look at their hand, put a Basic Pokémon from it onto their Bench and drag it up as the new defender. A forced switch that also costs them a card they were holding. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (F), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless for 10, and three coin flips: one head sleeps, two confuse, three paralyse. The only Unown here whose Hidden Power prints a damage number and a table of three separate outcomes. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (G), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — two Colourless, and the defender takes one damage counter per damaged Pokémon you have in play. It scales off your own board being hurt, so it is the set's reward for a deck that has already traded. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa.

Unown (H), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless fetches up to two Pokémon Tool cards and attaches them straight away. The Tools at 098–104 are the natural target, and this is the only way here to put two on the board in one attack. Shin-ichi Yoshikawa closes the A–H block he drew entire.

Unown (I), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless drags up one of their Benched Pokémon, their choice of which defender leaves, and the new one comes up Burned and Confused. The first of the twenty-five drawn by Nakaoka, who has nine here.

Unown (J), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless, a coin flip, and on heads you swap all damage counters on Unown with those on the defender. On a 60 HP body it is either a full heal or a suicide, and no other card in 2005 does the swap. Nakaoka.
Unown (K), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless for 20, and you may discard any Stadium in play. An answer to the Stadiums the rest of 2005 is built around, and the cheapest way to clear one. Nakaoka.

Unown (L), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless, a coin flip, and on heads the defender is reduced to 10 HP however much it had. Not damage: it sets the number. Against a 160 HP ex it is the cheapest attack in the set that ignores the size of the body. Nakaoka.

Unown (M), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — a single Psychic evolves one of your Pokémon straight out of the deck, at the price of one damage counter on Unown. The only Pokémon here that can evolve something without the evolution already in hand. Nakaoka.

Unown (N), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — one Colourless removes five damage counters from Unown, which is 50 of the 60 HP it has. Repeatable every turn, and the one Unown worth leaving in the Active spot. Nakaoka.

Unown (O), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless for 20, then Unown and every Energy on it go back to your hand. Damage without losing the card: it is a 20 that resets itself, and the only attack here that returns its own user. Nakaoka.

Unown (P), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — two Colourless puts one damage counter on each of their Pokémon that already has a counter. A follow-up card: alone it does nothing, and once something else has started marking the board it finishes it. Kyoko Koizumi, who also drew the first letter of the V–? run at 062.

Unown (Q), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless fetches up to three different types of basic Energy. With the order the δ decks of late 2005 play in, a one-energy search for three types is the fastest energy fix in the set. Nakaoka.
Unown (S), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — two Psychic, and only against a defender that has a Poké-Power or a Poké-Body: up to two basic Energy come off one of their Pokémon and go onto that defender. Half a lock and half an accelerator — the only card here that moves the opponent's Energy rather than discarding it. The letter R is not printed in this Japanese set, so S follows Q directly. Nakaoka.

Unown (U), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless for 10, and one of the defender's attacks is shut off for the opponent's next turn. The only card in the set that removes an attack instead of a Pokémon, and at a Psychic and a Colourless it is the cheapest answer to an ex's single big move. The letter T is not in this Japanese set either. Kyoko Koizumi.

Unown (V), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — a Psychic and two Colourless for 20, plus 10 for every Basic Pokémon and every Evolution card in your discard pile, capped at 60 more. 80 is the biggest number printed on any of the twenty-five, and it grows on its own as the game goes on. Kyoko Koizumi. The letters R and T are not in this Japanese set.

Unown (W), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — a Psychic and a Colourless for 20, and on a coin flip any card out of the discard pile goes back on top of the deck. Recursion on an uncommon, and the only Unown here that can return a Trainer rather than an Energy. Kyoko Koizumi.

Unown (Y), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — one Colourless for 10 and the defender falls Asleep, with no flip. The cheapest reliable Special Condition in the set. Kyoko Koizumi. The letter X is not in this Japanese set.
Unown (Z), 60 HP, common, retreat 1 — one Psychic does 20 to every Pokémon in play that has a Poké-Power or a Poké-Body, both sides, no Weakness or Resistance. One energy against exactly the decks the rest of this set builds. The last letter of the alphabet, and the harshest of the twenty-five. Kyoko Koizumi.

Unown (!), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless, a coin flip, and either way two damage counters go down: on their Pokémon on heads, on yours on tails. The only card in the set whose flip decides the side rather than whether. Kyoko Koizumi.

Unown (?), 60 HP, uncommon, retreat 1 — one Colourless: you put a card from your hand face down, the opponent guesses whether it is a Pokémon, a Trainer or an Energy, and if they guess wrong you draw two. The last card of the twenty-five and the only one whose effect is a guessing game. Its illustrator is Kyoko Koizumi, read off the printed card itself — the database listing for the English EX Unseen Forces stops at 27 Unown and does not carry this letter, so no record of it exists there.
10 cards · listed in original order.

Poliwrath, 120 HP, Stage 2, holofoil rare, retreat 2 — Beatdown is 40 at a Fighting and a Colourless, or 70 against anything Darkness or with Dark in its name; Hyper Splash is 60 at a Water and two Colourless, or 90 against a Stage 2. The Poké-Body Spiral Swirl confuses whatever Knocks it Out. Hajime Kusajima.

English scan
Onix, 80 HP, common, retreat 3 — Dig Deep for one Colourless pulls an Energy out of the discard pile, Mud Slap is 20 at two Colourless. 80 HP on a Basic is the second-largest body among the commons here, and the three-energy retreat is what it costs to have it. Yukiko Baba.

Hitmonlee, 60 HP, rare, retreat 1 — Stretch Kick for one Fighting snipes 10 at a Benched Pokémon, Mega Kick is 40 at a Fighting and two Colourless. The Poké-Body Stages of Evolution adds 20 to every attack once Hitmonlee is evolved, which is what the Tyrogue at 074 is for. Hisao Nakamura, three cards here, all three of them the Hitmon family.

Hitmonchan, 70 HP, rare, retreat 1 — Heavy Punch is 10 for each Pokémon on the opponent's Bench, at a Fighting and a Colourless; Speedy Uppercut is 50 at three Colourless and ignores Weakness, Resistance, Poké-Powers and Poké-Bodies entirely. The Poké-Body is +30 HP once evolved. Hisao Nakamura.

Sudowoodo, 60 HP, rare, retreat 1 — Copy for one Colourless repeats one of the defender's attacks if you can pay for it, and Karate Chop is 50 at a Fighting and two Colourless, minus 10 for each damage counter on Sudowoodo. Tomokazu Komiya, four cards here.

Holon Lass, Supporter — discard a card, then look at as many cards as there are Prizes left on both sides and take any number of Energy from them.

Also released this year: English edition.
EX Legend Maker reaches English, 93 cards — Japan's Mirage Forest of June 2005, eight months late, and the last of the three Japanese sets of 2005 to be printed in English. The two cards Japan had put in Mirage Forest for the fossil line, Swablu and Altaria ex, had already shipped in EX Emerald nine months earlier, so Legend Maker arrives with cards the English market had owned since May.
What 2006 holds is the next page's problem. What matters here is the shape of the year: three sets, three Gold Stars each, a fossil line in June and a new mechanic in the last week of October — and an English edition that spent all of 2005 printing 2004.
Release dates and product identities are connected to the Japanese edition release register by set code. Sources are printed per product so a reader can check the claim without trusting this page alone. Unmatched products say so instead of borrowing another edition’s citation.
PCG4 verified_secondaryPCG5 verified_secondaryPCG6 verified_secondaryAll 278 cards are listed, and none of them is reconstructed from a list of names. Numbers, names and rarities come from the published card lists; the counts match the printed sets exactly — 106 / 86 / 86.
The Japanese card list still comes from outside the usual database. TCGdex now carries single-card records for all three PCG sets, but the names in those records are machine output, not the printed Japanese: card 001 of Golden Sky, Silvery Ocean is recorded as 奇妙な — "strange" — where the card itself prints a species name. A database whose names cannot be trusted cannot be used for names, so the lists here come from a card database that holds the Japanese printings and their scans.
HP, type, stage and retreat cost are read off the Japanese card, because from 2005 there is a Japanese record to read them from. Where the two editions disagree this page follows Japan: Sandshrew at PCG6 051 is Fighting here and Water in English, Hariyama at 055 is Fighting here and Fire in English, and Shelgon δ, Starmie δ and Metagross ☆ carry different HP in the two editions. Attack names and illustrators are still read off the English twin of each card — the Japanese records do not carry them.
Japanese names appear for Pokémon only. Every Pokémon name here is the official Japanese species name from the species table. Trainer and Energy cards carry no Japanese name — Holon Transceiver, Holon Mentor, React Energy and the rest appear in English only, because there is no Japanese card face in our sources to check the wording against. A missing line is better than an invented one.
Pokémon-ex and Pokémon ☆ are counted as holofoils and labelled separately — HOLO RARE ex and HOLO RARE ☆ rather than folded into the ordinary holofoil count. 2005 has sixteen ex cards across the three sets and nine Gold Stars, three in each.
The twenty-five Unown are the one place where a letter had to be worked out. They are not guesses: 043–059 match the English A–Q on attack cost, damage and illustrator; 060 and 061 are S and U, because Japan dropped R and T at exactly that point in the alphabet; and 062–067 match V, W, Y, Z, ! and ? on their printed attack text. But the letters are not in the card list, and this page says how they were arrived at rather than presenting them as read off it.
What is still missing. The pack itself: wrapper artwork, the price at release, what you had to do to buy one, and the shop link for the sealed product. None of that is in the card databases this almanac is built from, and none of it is guessed here. It is a standing task for every year on the site, and 2005 is no different.
Three sets, 278 cards, nine Gold Stars, and a mechanic that landed in the last week of October and re-typed a third of its own set. 2005 is the year the Japanese card and the English card stopped being the same card — δ reached Tokyo three days before it reached anywhere else, the English edition spent the year printing 2004, and the one English set with no Japanese parent at all was the one with no Gold Star in it. What is here is what could be verified. The rest is marked.
